First American edition of a landmark in the history of zoology and comparative anatomy the most comprehensive biological work since Linnaeus. “Cuvier’s valuable work represented the fruits of a lifetime’s study of living and fossil animals. In his day Cuvier exerted an enormous influence on science. He played a leading part in the development of the science of palaeontology and stimulated the study of comparative anatomy†G&M. <br /> <br /> “It is in his classification of the animal kingdom into four main groups Vertebrata Mollusca Articulata and Radiata that he is so notably succeeded in giving a lead that has been followed by all his successors. . .Cuvier was the first to apply analyses and comparison to the entire animal kingdom. He also saw that this homogeneity in an individual should enable a competent naturalist to reconstruct a complete animal from any significant part of its anatomy†PMM. G. & C. & H. Carvill unknown

"Georges Cuvier 1769-1832 made a peer of France in 1819 in recognition of his work was perhaps the most important European scientist of his day. His most famous work Le Règne Animal was published in French in 1817; Edward Griffith 1790-1858 a solicitor and amateur naturalist embarked on in 1824 with a team of colleagues an English version which resulted in this illustrated sixteen-volume edition with additional material published between 1827 and 1835. Cuvier was the first biologist to compare the anatomy of fossil animals with living species and he named the now familiar 'mastodon' and 'megatherium'. However his studies convinced him that the evolutionary theories of Lamarck and St Hilaire were wrong and his influence on the scientific world was such that the possibility of evolution was widely discounted by many scholars both before and after Darwin. Volume 14 is the first of two covering insects." -- WorldCat. Printed for Whittaker, Treacher, and Co hardcover

From Wikipedia: "None of Cuvier's works attained a higher reputation than his Règne Animal distribué d'après son Organisation pour servir de base à l'Histoire Naturelle des Animaux et d'Introduction à l'Anatomie Comparée the first edition of which appeared in four octavo volumes in 1817 and the second in five volumes in 1829-30. In this classic work Cuvier embodied the results of the whole of his previous researches on the structure of living and fossil animals. The whole of the work was his own with the exception of the section on Insecta in which he was assisted by his friend Latreille. It was translated into English many times often with substantial notes and supplementary material updating the book in accordance with the expansion of knowledge.". G. & C. & H. Carvill Hardcover
